I am both at the same time.

They have limited solitude and can be the life of the party every time they want. Numerous ambiverts camouflage for extended periods, like introverts.

Introverts pay close attention to the point of view of others and are excellent listeners, while extroverts are straightforward and outspoken. Extroverts have exceptional communication skills, as they can easily express their feelings in their speech and conduct.

Selective friendship

Introverts and extroverts create friendships in many contrasting ways. Introverts keep a small group of close friends with whom they have a deeper level of connection. It means that introverts know too much about only a few people. They make firm friendships that stay strong for years while facing difficulties and solving problems together. On the other hand, extroverted people create opposing types of social circles as they have a lot of so-called- friends. Extroverts are a part of many friend groups but spend little time bonding with each friend because it is impossible to know about a large number of people at a more in-depth level.

They make their schedule according to their choice and work consequently.

Extroverts feel confident in a group of people and have no issue saying their hearts out. Extroverts are perfect coworkers who can fill any group with more enthusiasm, friendliness, and productivity. If extroverts have to work by themselves, they may not feel motivated, their energy disappears, and their productivity decreases.

Healthy doubt

Introverts are suspicious of most people, so it takes a long time to reach their trust level, while extroverts trust others too quickly and often pay the price for their trust. An ambivert knows when to trust or when to not. Unlike introverts, an ambivert knows that people are not always what they seem, but that doubting attitude has a limitation.

In short, the play is completely about keeping an introverted soul the body of an extrovert. Ambiverts have lots of outstanding qualities that have their pros and cons. No matter where you land on the personality spectrum, taking the time to explore the way you act and interact can help enhance your private and professional strengths.
